Play Timecop (Japan) Online
Blast through time as a pixelated future cop, switching between jungles and neon cities while taking down cavemen-turned-crooks and ridiculous bosses. The controls hold up better than you'd expect for an SNES shooter—just pure, chaotic fun.
Timecop for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System came out in 1995 from Jaleco, a company that put out a fair number of action titles on the platform. It's a side-scrolling shooter that fits right in with the era's love for fast-paced, straightforward arcade-style games, offering a sci-fi twist on the run-and-gun formula without trying to reinvent the wheel.
You control a time-traveling police officer, moving screen by screen to eliminate all enemies before progressing. Your main objective is to clean up temporal disturbances across different eras, using a standard blaster and a limited supply of screen-clearing bombs. The game throws a lot of enemies and projectiles your way, making for a hectic pace that demands quick reflexes; it's not overly long, but the challenge is consistent. Navigating the stages and timing your attacks against some creatively absurd bosses gives the action a satisfying, if sometimes frantic, rhythm.
